Looking for?

Empty blister pack pockets linked together (approx. 25100)

Site-specific installation, 2025

 

It’s circular, it’s a turret. This English word, meaning a diminutive tower, is derived from ‘tour’, a french term denoting a circular journey. In Hindu ritualistic traditions, people perform circumambulations (pradakshina) in temples and sacred places. This circular walking somehow embodies a shared longing for discovery - whether we seek a divine presence, desire improved health, want more meaning in our lives, or need to come to terms with our presence in the world.​

 

​‘Looking for?’ installation is itself a site-specific presence, it lives within an empty turret where everything once began and ended with the eye, with watching. Now I have filled it with pockets of empty blister packs cut from used medical packaging. Each tiny void was created by a desire for improved health. Joined together in chains, these pockets give the turret’s columnar emptiness a new kinetic and sonic life. Where there were sentries and pills there is art. Nothing inevitably becomes something at the end.​
